The LP Paoli Mejias balance bongos deliver crackling highs and rich mid-tones. Whether on stage with Santana or leading his own group, distinguished Puerto Rican, master percussionist, Paoli Mejias is ranked among the best in Latin jazz, rock and salsa. His soulful and energetic playing is best heard on a pair of his signature balance bongos. Constructed with sculpted ash, they are outfitted with natural rawhide heads, Comfort Curve II rims, 5/16" diameter tuning lugs and cast bottoms.
